Book summary

Delving into the most recent research on progressive teaching, this second edition includes a wealth of additional information on six very important topics: reading, writing, mathematics, science, social studies, and the arts. According to the authors, a crucial aspect of reforming American classrooms involves more than simply creating advanced testing systems and restructuring bureaucracy, but examining how teachers can teach more effectively. Despite differences in subject matter, extensive studies find that students respond best to the same methods across the board, whether they are studying math or art. A thorough examination of national standards projects with newly disclosed documents, school reform plans, and how politics effect education reform are just a few of the topics investigated.
